ECIPE Webinar: Ukraine’s European Future – How do we Move it Forward?
Russia’s war on Ukraine is a war in Europe. If it was not clear before, it should clear now that the future of Ukraine is in Europe and – should the Ukrainians want it – in the European Union. While a membership application has been submitted, there will be a long process until membership has been achieved. But that process can start already now with practical actions and policies that will help Ukraine to protect its people and sovereignty at the same time as they will advance Ukraine’s integration with Europe. What could Europe do? How could European efforts be coordinated not just with Ukraine but Georgia and Moldova?
